GAME OF THRONES could be about to set up the most unexpected romance with many fans convinced Sansa Stark will strike up a relationship with The Hound when season eight airs.

Sansa (played by Sophie Turner) is currently at Winterfell while The Hound (Rory McCann) is on his way back to the Stark household with King in the North, Jon Snow (Kit Harington), so it seems very likely they will come face-to-face.

The pair last saw one another in season two when Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane) launched an attack on King’s Landing and The Hound begged the youngster to flee the capital with him.

But Sansa refused to run away and fans believe the last time they met, there was a hint at a potential romance.

Reddit user grumblepup asked: “Multiple times in S1 and S2, they hinted at something between the Hound and Sansa, right? I'm not imagining this?

“Can anyone tell me if that same or similar hinting happens in the books? I wonder if anything will come of it in the final season, now that the two characters could very possibly meet up again.”

Fellow user Carter-Canary certainly believes the pair could strike up a romance as they detailed the evidence in favour of a relationship.

“In the books, the Hound’s affection for her is a lot more clear and for some people is romantic in nature,” they wrote.

“There are a lot of things cut out [in the show] that would seem rather inappropriate in some part due to her age (there’s even a scene where you can feel it a little), from him commenting on her beauty/body to getting a song from her at knifepoint and then weeping after she sings.
